A CASHIER GONE WRONG.
WARREN L. CARSON ROBS JOHN
r. GOODWIN 4 co.
OF Between $4,000 and $4,000, and
Follows In ralbOtt's Tracks
to Kansas City.

Yesterday the atmosphere wAs
heavy with rumors Of another eensa.
tional shortcoming-this time ths vic
tim being a well known cotton firm,
and the guilty party his confidential
bookkeepsr. So well was the st cret
guarded, however, that the closest
questioning failed 10 disclose any Of
the particulars until late hour last
night. Even the police manifested
an unwillingness to speak of the mat
ter, but it finally leaked out that the
rumois were well founded, and that
the secrscy was stroke OF policy to
assist in bringing the guilty man to
justice.
The victim in this latest sensation is
Mr.. John r. Goodwin, and ths amount
stolen is between $4,000 and $4,000. The
firms conf jential bookkeeper and
cashier, Warren L. Carson, is the gen.
tleman who took advantage OF his
trust, and skipped with his i'll gotten
gains to Kansas City Friday night.
The firm bad their suspicious
aroused several days ago by certain
my sterious actions on the part of Car
soD, and instituted an investigation.
They had proceeded only far enough
to establish the correctness of their
suspicious, when the cashier broke
down and confessed to having taken
the amouHt named. As be had been
in the employ of Mr.. Goodwin for
years, and promised restitution, it was
deemed the better course to give him
q chance, and no action was taken
looking to an arrest and prosecution.
Friday night Mr.. Carson took Gd-
vantage of the lenisncy and good
faith OF his employers and fsd, it is
supposed, to Kansas City. His pres.
ent whereabouts, however, are un-
known.
When Mr.. Goodwin was approached
on the subject he manifested a strong
desire to keep the affair out of print,
and it was only after much persuasion
that he could be induced to speak OF
it and give the amount OF his loss.
AS to what course will be pur.
sued to have Carson brought
back to the scene OF his rAscility
for trial, he was unable to say. For
more reasons than one he regretted
the occurrence, and the main reason
for desiring to confine the knowledge
ofthe crime to the limited circle al.
ready in possession, was the hope that
Carson might be arrested, brought
ba k and give such assurance OF
straightforward course ia future that
no public exposure would bs ne ;es.
ssry.
The young man gone wrong is alb 0 ut
% years OF age, rather handsome, and
has heretofore borne good reputa.
ton with his employers aud the pub
lie generally. While dres log neatly,
he had no appearance of dude, and
30 far as known lived within his
means. What impelled him to COM
NIT the crime is so far a complete
mystery. Should he be captured,
which is almost sure to be accom-.
plished, he will doubtless, like his
youthful partner in sin, Chas. Talbot,
plead an excessive use Of strong drink.
Coming just at this time, when Mr..
Godwin's cup Of sorrow is full to over
flowing and his mind engrossed in the
long drawn out trial in progress in the
Criminal Court, makes it more diff
cult to endure.

Rebekah Degree Mysteries.


A correspondent at Auburn sends to the
RECORD UNION the following:
The officers of Roseville Rebekah Degree
Lodge /. 0. 0. F., came to Auburn on the
night of the 9th instant, to confer the Re-
bekah degree upon number of Auburn
ladies, that Rebekah Degree Lodge might
be instituted here. The Roseville officers
present were Mrs Corliss, n G. Mrs. Thyle,
V. g.. Mrs. Fitzgerald, Past n. G.; Miss
Blair Chaplain Mrs. Pratt, Conductress
Warden, Mrs. Berrie; Permanent Secre-
tarv, Mrs Branstetter; Recording Secretary,

Mrs. Speg and Mrs. Purdy; l. G.. Mr..
Shafer Treasurer, Mrs. Branstetter, Organ.
list, Miss Curly. Members, H. Corliss,
Rockland, j. d. Pratt, A. McRae. The
officers exemplified the beautifed work of
the Rebekah degree in the most pleasing
manner to the entire satisfaction of those
present. Under the head OF good of the
Order County Clerk Pullen made very
amusing speech, in which he complimented
the officers very highly and acknowledged
his surprise at the high degree of perfection
that they had attained in rendering the
work. As he had predicted, when the
Roseville Lodge was instituted, that il
would be sad failure, he was willing at
this time to acknowledge the corn and
ask forgiveness, which he did in dramatic
manner and was most heartily forgiven.
Other speeches followed app opriate to the
occasion. The ladies who re ceived the de-
gree were Mrs. w. Freeman, Mrs. f. ?.
futile, Mrs ]. Wrilliner MIS-. s. M. Steav-
ems, Mrs F. D. Adams, Mrs. Fulton, Mrs.
Rooney, Mrs. Bry and Miss Sadie Mann.
At half-past IL o'clock the Lodge closed
and the tables in the hall were most boun-

been provided by the ladies of Auburn.

Anti-Chinese Cow.

Monday afternoon there arrived here
from some station on the line of railroad
young COW, consigned to the Protestant
Orphan Asylum. She was not very
hearty looking animal-perbaps she was
an orphan herself, and had been grieving
over the fact until she lost fiesh-but
when she was released from car at the
freight depot it was pretty evident that
there was a good deal of her, and all
alive, the ride in the car having aroused
her spirits. A Chinaman started to lead
her to the asylum with rope, and that
was the straw that exhausted her patience.
She might have consented 10 be hauled
around by a white man, but a Mon
golian should never so disgrace her, and
with a sudden rush she placed her
horns behind the Celestial, so that when
she raised her head he seemed to be sitting
in a little chair, and before he could wink
he was tossed high in the air and into the
mud twenty feet distant-knocked out in
the first round He picked himself up,
little hurt but greatly scared, and with an
ejaculation of HI d! what for"
prepared 10 avoid further discussion but
the mill. producer did not follow up her
advantage. Turning away in disgust, she
took to the railroad track at the station
house and moved hastily toward the pas
senger depot. Officer Farren, anxious for
an arrest, tried to induce engineer Clark, of
the locomotive Gov. Stanford, to go after
her with the cow catcher, but by that
time she was rounding the curve
toward the passenger depot, and came
upon some of Uncle Billy Closes track-re-
pairers. One of them raised his shovel,
striking an attitude la a ax defying some
body or other, and remarking in stem
torian tones, "Shool" But it wasn't her
day to do anything of the kind, and, lower
ing her head, she went for Mr.. Ajax, who
dropped his attitude and his shovel, and
Just got out of the way in time. The de-
termined animal passed through the depot
triumphsntly, and when last seen was going
